Unexpected

Chapter 32

The lacrosse ball falls out of my lacrosse stick and I groan. 

“Cedes, come here!” coach yells and I close my eyes, sigh, and then run over to coach on the sidelines. “speak to me Cedes, what’s wrong?” he asks as he crosses his hands over his chest. 

I shake my head. “Nothing, nothing’s wrong. My head is just out of the gutter this practice,” I answer.

Coach nods. “Alright boys! Practice is over, go clean up!” Coach yells and everyone walks off the field. I give coach an apologetic smile then run off the field and into the girls dressing room. 

Its been a week since Emery came back to Mass, beaten up. After I left Emery had went to hang out with Max when Thane was there. He beat Max so bad he was left broken in the hospital where Emery was left with a broken arm and a couple bad bruises here and there. I guess you could say I was feeling guilty, I mean who wouldn’t? Even if Emery is an asshole to me, of course I was going to feel guilty. I had left Emery there to defend for himself, I know I probably wouldn’t have done anything but still. Emery hasn’t spoken to me since I left him in Nevada, I really don’t care at this point to be honest. 

My relationship with Noah has actually been the best it had ever been in awhile since I got back from Nevada. The boys have been the same since I came back, I wasn’t surprised. Everything’s been good and I’m glad. Yeah, everything’s rocky with Emery but it was expected. 

I’m just glad everything’s back to normal with Noah. 

“Hey, you okay?” I jump in my skin when I feel weight on my shoulder and someone whispering near my ear.

I move my head to the right a little to see Noah resting his chin on my shoulder. “Yeah, yeah I’m fine. Just not here today,” I chuckle. 

Noah grabs my lacrosse bag, flings it over his shoulder, then lifts me up. “Well, I know you don’t have to be home until four hours from now and there’s hot chocolate at my house.” 

I laugh. “I love you.”

“Beer?” Noah asks as he walks up to me. I shrug and take the beer out of his hands. Noah stands next to me and rests his hand lazily around my waist as he talks to people around me. 

It was now Saturday Night and Noah and I had gotten invited to a party out of town by some people at our school. As we had nothing really better to do we thought to just go in and say hi to everyone, we’ve been here for maybe an hour and I guess we were having fun. Noah and I met some really cool people here and I was just enjoying myself. 

“Hey, girl!” I smile at Silver when she walks over to the small group of people Noah was talking to, with Chance. “I thought you and Emery weren’t on speaking terms.” 

I crease my eyebrows. “We are….” I chuckle. 

“Oh, then you didn’t invite Emery?” Silver asks and I shake my head. “well he’s totally wasted in the living room.” 

“I really don’t care,” I tell Silver and she chuckles then leans against the counter behind me and jumps in the guys conversation. I sigh and lean my head on Noah’s arm. I’m honestly glad I picked Noah. Yeah, we’re only 16 and 18 but we’re in love and I definitely see a future together. 

“Want to head out?” Noah questions, I look up at him and shrug. 

“Only if you want to,” I answer, Noah nods. 

“Alright guys we’re heading out, talk to you later?” Noah announces as he starts doing the man hug thing with a couple guys. They all nod. 

“Bye, Silver and Chance!” I call as Noah and I start walking out, Chance and Silver wave to me. “where do I put my beer?” I ask Noah with a chuckle. 

Noah shakes his head to the lawn. “Just throw it on the lawn, no one’s going to know.” I shrug and throw my red solo cup on the green grass. 

“Your house or mine?” 

“Aren’t your parents out of town?” I nod. “your place?” I nod and we get in Noah’s car.

Noah and I stare at each other when we hear my front door slam shut and some banging against a wall. I lift the covers off our bodies and stand up but Noah takes my hand and shoves me behind him. It was now nearly 3 in the morning and I was probably being robbed. Great. After tip toeing quietly down the stairs, Noah slams the kitchen door open and flickers the lights on. 

I immediately cringe at the sight and slap a hand over my eyes. 

“Oh,” Noah clears his throat. “sorry man,” Noah quickly apologies then shoves me out of the doorway. I slowly let my hand drop, Noah and I stare at each other for a couple minutes before bursting into laughter. 

Emery obviously wanted to get some tonight. Emery was practically dry humping a blond model chick on my kitchen chair. I really didn’t want to see the girls big boobs flowing out and Emery’s thing almost out but things happen. 

“Shh,” Noah whispers as he puts his finger to his lips. I put my lips in a straight line and jog up the stairs with Noah. 

“Oh my God, I can’t believe we just saw that!” I exclaim as I fall on my bed.

Noah chuckles and slips under the comforters. “I can’t believe I woke up just for that,” he complains. 

I get under the covers and lean close to Noah. “But your protectiveness was pretty hot.” 

“Yeah?”

I dance my fingers over Noah’s naked side and bite my lip. “Yeah.”  I giggle when Noah grabs me curls me into his side. Noah grabs my hand and plays with our fingers. 

“I love you.” 

I stare at our fingers and smile. “I love you too.” 

“Even more then Emery loves fake boobs?” 

I laugh. “Even more then Emery loves fake boobs,” I state. Noah kisses my temple then we relax in my bed, just staring at our laced fingers, and listening to our breathing. 

These are the moments I live for, the relaxing and calm moments. The silent but comfortable moments. The everything in between moments. I especially love this side of Noah, not the red headed and tempered Noah but the loving and fragile Noah. The Noah who would never be shown to everyone. The one who is always there for me. The one I fell in love with. I do love the red headed and tempered Noah because its his personality and it’s a pretty big turn on. Not going to lie but also another reason I love that Noah is because I feel untouchable and safe. I guess I love a badboy sometimes but I could never live with only a badboy. 

Exactly why its Noah not Emery.
